Santa, you know me so well!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  I hope you all had a happy Christmas, and that you celebrated the start on 2013 in style!  We had a wonderful Christmas with my family (being spoilt, eating lots, and playing games), managed to meet up with lots of UK-based friends, and had a fantastic New Year's Eve (with my parents and some friends) at a hotel in Cheltenham.  

Santa Claus is SUCH a clever fellow!  How DID he know what I was hoping to find in my stocking this year?!?  And he's SO generous too!  I think I must have been very, very good last year!!!

I thought I'd do a little show-and-tell of some of the crafty pressies I received.....


[look out, books - here comes the scalpel...]

[a little bobbin corking dolly]

[a bit of CK, of course]

[another papercutting book]

[my new 'Mollie' subscription - with freebee book]

[a new camera lens - to snap some birdies and other creatures]

[a lovely, colourful, small-project crafty book]

[and last but not least... some cute fabrics]

I'm CAN'T WAIT to get started on some new crafty projects.....  Thank you SO much for all my wonderful Christmas gifts, dear family and friends!!!  

Next time, I'll do a show-and-tell of some of the pressies I MADE for people this Christmas.  So, see you soon.....

  13. What lovely bunch pf presents Santa brought to you! You have been a good girl!
    Answering your question on my blog: If I could make those wrist warmers, you can too. They are very easy (the easiest I found) and the pattern on Ravelry is well written and free. :)

  15. Dear, lovely Carly,

    Happy New Year to you and your wonderful crafty mind! I wish you much joy, peace, and, of course, happy creating.

    I must say that every single one of your gifts sings out to me 'you want me, don't you?' They are beautiful, especially that first book. No wonder we love Father Christmas so ;-)
